A great bike and hiking route leads to the historic swing bridge in Estebrügge. The bridge turners from Estebrügge: The bridge is a rarity in the German bridge landscape, the fully functional swing bridge in Estebrügge. Four bridge turners take turns ensuring that the traditional bridge between Moorende and Estebrügge remains in motion. Now, the bridge turners in the Altes Land are looking for new talent.

A great cycling route leads to Estebrüge. You get to see some sights. The swing bridge in the middle of the village. In the immediate vicinity are the church and, time and again, lovely old half-timbered houses. A visit is recommended and interesting at the same time 👍🏼

Buxtehude Stavenort, the name derives from "stove, stave". This is what the Buxtehude bathing room was formerly called. It was located in the northeast of the old town. Stavenort has been called this since around 1575. Narrow, two-story half-timbered houses are located here, whose outer walls partly consist of remnants of the old city wall. They are characteristic of the formerly very densely built-up and winding residential quarter. Today, this cultural center of the city, located between the Buxtehude Museum for Regional History and Art, the Stavenort 16 Art School, and the Stavenort 5 City Archive, is a venue for public events.

The Jork Fruit Growing Experimental and Advisory Centre has been successfully working for fruit growing in Northern Germany for over 75 years, with the core area being the Lower Elbe region. Several institutions, such as the Fruit Growing Experimental Station of the Chamber of Agriculture of Lower Saxony, the Altes Land Fruit Growing Experimental Ring, the Northern Germany Organic Fruit Growing Experimental and Advisory Ring, and others, have joined forces at the centre to support commercial fruit growing through research, advice, and training and further education. In applied research, apples and pears, sweet cherries, sour cherries, plums and damsons, as well as strawberries, raspberries, red and blackcurrants, gooseberries, and blackberries are processed every year in hundreds of experiments on the experimental farms and in the laboratories in Jork-Moorende and Vechta Langförde.

In the center of Estebrügge, known for its blue-white railing, is the swing bridge. The bridge turns 90 degrees to make way for ships. Operated by volunteer bridge operators. The passage height when the bridge is closed is approx. 1.90 m, width 7.20 m. It is a popular destination for cyclists and hikers, often included in routes through the Alte Land. The bridge is an important testimony to the maritime landscape of Unterelbe.
